Milam & Greene Whiskey is introducing the second release of the 2024 Wildlife Collection: Mockingbird Single Barrel Bourbon, a limited-edition, cask-strength spirit. The trailblazing Wildlife series explores how extreme weather in the Texas Hill Country influences flavor development of aging bourbon and brings awareness to Texas Parks and Wildlife causes. Mockingbird Single Barrel Bourbon is part of this year’s collector theme, which highlights the beautiful and intriguing birds of Texas. It will be available exclusively on our website and in the distillery tasting room beginning at 3:00 p.m. (CST) on Wednesday, April 17, 2024.
Mockingbird Single Barrel Bourbon is pulled from cask #519, yielding only 173 bottles of this limited, 128.21 proof cask-strength release. It was distilled in Tennessee with a mash bill of 84% corn, 8% rye, and 8% malted barley, and barreled in Tennessee on March 8, 2016, where it was aged six years and seven months. We then brought it to Texas and aged a further year and four months in extreme drought and a once-in-a-generation ice storm on the north side of the Milam & Greene Rickhouse #2. Mockingbird Single Barrel Bourbon was bottled on February 6, 2024, at 128.21 proof or 64.1% alcohol by volume after aging for a total of seven years and eleven months. Mark your calendars and set your alarms to get your bottle — these releases sell out within minutes!
